Consider a body with a mass of 10kg. We throw the body with an initial velocity of 18km/h from a height of 25m at an angle θ with the horizontal plane. Which of the following is θ, if we know that the body reached the ground with the maximum velocity magnitude? Consider g = 9.81 m/s2 and that the body is moving in a medium without resistance

A) 90° vertical, with the ball initially moving upwards,

B) 90° vertical, with the ball initially moving downwards,

C) 0°

D) 45°, with the ball initially moving upwards,

E) None of the above

F) It is not depending from the θ

Given the RLC circuit in the image, with R=470Ω, L = 0.1H and C=100nF, find the ratio |V|/|VL| if the AC voltage source is operating at resonant frequency. VL is the voltage across the inductor.

A) 94

B) 0.47

C) 0.82

D) 0.56

An EV vehicle in FSG 2020 has an output capability of at most 80kW. At some point, the driver actuates the brake pedal for a significant period of time causing a force of 500N against the master cylinder which has a diameter of 0.55’’. At this point, the APPS signal pedal travel at 23%. The delivered power to the motors is at 12% of the maximum capability of the vehicle and falling with a steady rate of 8133 J/s2 . Choose the correct statement

A) The BSPD will not open the shutdown circuit

B) The APPS will stop the power to the mtors

C) The BSPD will be triggered and will open the SDC

D) We can not know what will happen

Which is the area moment of inertia of a steel tube intended for main hoop with wall thickness of 2.6mm and inner diameter of 20mm.

A) 4951.72

B) 11941.77

C) 3801.18

D) 23.074

What is a penalty for not being ready to drive in the endurance at your designated time slot?

A) 10s penalty on the endurance time on each time slot that is missed

B) 2 min penalty on the endurance time

C) no penalty if the team is able to start their run at a later time slot

D) 200s penalty on the endurance time

The deadline for VSV submission for FSG 2020 is 25-5-2020 at 17:00. The Aristotle Racing Team (ART) uploaded the VSV for their driverless vehicle at 23- 5-2020, however, they received a “fail” at 6-6-2020 at 18:00. They upload of the correct, fully compliant VSV happened at the Tuesday of the next week at noon. Choose the correct penalty received by ART. Consider the same timezone for all purposes.

A) 49p penalty

B) 54p penalty

D) No penalty was received

E) it is impossible to know

Which of the following materials can a Formula Student team use in the fabrication of their tubular chassis without having to perform additional material testing?

A) Chromoly 4120

C) Chromoly 4161

B) Inconel 600

D) Carbon Steel 1075

. Consider the gear train shown in the figure, where: ω1= 1500 rpm (driver gear), ω2=ω3 (compound gear), z1=17 teeth, Z2=34 teeth and z4= 45 teeth. If the transmission ratio (i=ωdriven/ ωdriver) is i=0.2, how many teeth should gear 3 have? Note: The image does not correspond exactly to the data.

A) 450 teeth

B) 64 teeth

C) 18 teeth

D) In simple gear trains, gears between the input and output gears do not change the speed ratio. Z3 can be any value.

2. An ice skater spins at ω1= 4π rad/s with her arms extended. If her moment of inertia with arms folded is 80% of that with arms extended. Calculate the fractional change in kinetic energy

A) 0.3

B) 1.25

C) 0.25

D) 0.8
